The new label is designed to show information regarding 3 criteria, however there are many other important performance factors to consider including: 

• Resistance to aquaplaning
• Driving stability
• Handling and steering position on wet and dry roads
• Durability
• Braking performance on dry roads

• Capabilities in winter conditions

Automotive manufacturers require the very highest standard across all these performance factors before they approve tyres for their new vehicles.

Furthermore, widely published tyre tests take at least 11 further relevant performance factors into account (see table below) and therefore continue to be an excellent source of independent information regarding the total performance of a tyre.
